    Cherry and almond cake, or maybe a cherry trifle :confused:
    Squares knitted for my throw ~ 90 (yes!!! I have finally finished it :rotfl: )
    Squares made for my patchwork quilt ~ 80 (only the "actual" quilting to do now :rotfl:)

    Dogs return to eat their vomit, just as fools repeat their foolishness. There is no more hope for a fool than for someone who says, "i am really clever!"

    Thank you all. Well, these aren't glace cherries so might they still sink in a cake?

    I did wonder if I could just use them like a fresh cherry. If I had fresh ones, they would not get near a pie, they would be eaten one after the other.

    Thanks again everyone:beer:
